Chapter 7: The Resurrection of Computers

In the next few days, Li Yue has been busy running for the license, although it is entrusted to an intermediary company, but it still needs to go through some procedures. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Finally, before the 10th, the company's overall renovation was completely completed. Li Yue drove the box truck out of his uncle's community until he reached the front of the company.

Before moving these server racks, Li Yue had them covered with a black cloth in the trunk before being carried upstairs. But the precautions are so strict, and there are rumors of leaks.

"Have you heard? Zhongguancun has a new network company, which seems to be called Momo Technology. This morning, they moved over more than 20 large server units with a height of one person. ”

"A server that is more than 1 person tall? IBM?”

"It's not clear, they don't see the server's brand logo. It's just that this company was sneaky when moving the equipment, and it was covered with a black cloth. It's just that someone happened to see a corner of the server when it was windy. ”

"Do you know what business they do?"

"I don't know about this, it is said that someone from NetEase went to ask. The other party did not tell him explicitly. ”

"Is this company officially open?"

"It's not yet, but we're currently moving social equipment and buying office supplies. ”

"Well, when they officially open. Send a flower basket in the name of SOHU. ”

"Okay. ”

"More than 20 server groups? I can't imagine that in this dot-com bubble economy, there are still people who would be so generous. SOHU also wants to have a batch of new servers!" Zhang Chaoyang looked out the window worriedly and muttered to himself.

At the same time, Sina's senior management also inquired about the situation of Momo.

"Has this Momo company received angel investment?" Wang Zhidong, the founder of Sina, asked casually at the company's regular meeting.

"I don't know the specifics, but I know that the executive of this company is a young man around 20 years old. ”

"I'll just ask, and we'll get back to the meeting. Wang Zhidong's Sina will be listed on the Nasdaq next year, and he has no mind to think about anything else right now.

"Mr. Ding, I have inquired clearly. Momo Network Technology Co., Ltd. was founded by an 18-year-old high school student. The suit company that everyone has been rumoring about in recent days is actually their company's security department, but they hire 20 security personnel at one time, and they spend more than 30,000 yuan on clothing alone. The assistant reported to Ding Lei.

"It's not a small time! I heard that they have a batch of server units in their hands?" asked Ding Lei. NetEase's most mature business in 99 years is the portal and mailbox, is it possible that the other party also takes a fancy to these two businesses? Will this impact his company's listing plan next year? Ding Lei has no bottom in his heart.

"It was Engineer Zhang of our company who saw it, and it was indeed a server unit, and I heard that there were more than 20 units. The assistant said.

"Alright, got it. Come back, and when they open, deliver a flower basket. After Ding Lei finished instructing, he continued to deal with the work at hand.

In this era of the bursting of the Internet bubble, all Internet companies are experiencing a capital winter. It's not that these giants are sensitive, but that this era is such an environment. However, 99 years later, at the beginning of the new millennium, these companies were listed in the United States and immediately took on a new look and began to stake their land under the operation of capital.

Li Yue looked at the neatly arranged server groups on the second floor, and couldn't stop being excited. After Li Yue asked everyone to leave, he locked the door from the first floor to the second floor.

Li Yue walked to the middle of these server groups and untied the black curtain they were wearing one by one. Brand new DELL blade servers are neatly arranged on the server racks. Each server rack has a total of 45 servers and 20 server racks for a total of 900 servers.

After Li Yue unlocked the last rack, he began to connect the lines. Fortunately, the wires here have been specially modified, otherwise so many devices work at the same time, and ordinary wires really can't stand it.

I sat down at the computer desk in the center of the room and opened my laptop. After clicking on a program, Li Yue entered a piece of code and entered. 900 servers are activated instantly.

Admin certification begins. The camera on the laptop suddenly turned on itself and began to scan Li Yue's face.

Admin voice acknowledges waiting.

"Sign in. Li Yue said with voice control.

After 2 minutes, a large number of self-test anomalies began to appear on the laptop screen.

The Level 2 database cannot be connected.

The Level 3 database cannot be connected.

Internet access failed.

Cloud data center access failed.

The GPU data center connection failed.

The main program is normal.

The core data is normal.

Waiting for the command, the computer gives the character cursor for the input command.

"In the process of transferring, there was a dislocation of time and space, and we went back to 1999. Li Yue said calmly.

Level 2 database connection failed.

Level 3 database connection failed.

Internet access failed.

Access to the cloud data center is incorrect.

"Our data centers are all in 2017. Today is 1999, and we are now in silos of data. ”

"What can I do?" the computer asked by typing a line.

"Let's get to know the old world first. Saying that, Li Yue connected the computer to the network. 10 megabit fiber broadband. Li Yue paid 300,000 RMB for this broadband fee, which was less than 300 yuan a year in later generations. There is only one word for the enterprise line - expensive. LIKE A VIDEO GIANT LIKE YOUKU, HIS INTERNET FEE IN 2015 WAS 300 MILLION YUAN. When most ordinary people only have a 20-100 trillion network, they already have 10G bandwidth.

"How's the hardware plan going?" asked Li Yue after a moment's thought. Speaking of this hardware plan, Li Yue really applauded the decision at that time. At that time, Li Yue was discovered by the CIA, and in desperation, he hoped that the machine could design and upgrade its own hardware. Hopefully, it will design a super-performance, low-power, small-footprint device on its own. Because every transfer is a very risky act. Li Yue hopes that the core of the machine is as small as possible. Even now, these 900 servers have reached the limit of the core of the machine. It's so little that it can't be less.

"The design is complete, and the process technology is being refined. A line popped up on the computer screen.

The most core thing in a computer is called a CPU, and it is actually not difficult at all in theory. The difficulty lies in the level of craftsmanship. Hundreds of millions of transistors per square centimeter. This is not something that can be solved by a single level of science. It was only in 2017 that China fully adopted its own ballpoint pen ball, which is such a very common thing in daily life. The Chinese have been all imports for decades. The reason is very simple, just because the things they produce are not qualified in process.

"How long will it take to fully develop the technical process of Intel's 1366 series CPUs?" asked Li Yue with concern.

"Depending on the available technology, it would take 13 to 15 months of process improvement. "The computer gives an approximate timeline.

The 1366 series CPU is Intel's product in 2006, and from now on to design and manufacture and then to mass production, at most two to three years ahead of the other party. Li Yue didn't expect to directly upgrade to the 2017 level CPU, but it was too difficult. Moreover, if the level of science and technology suddenly leaps so greatly, what kind of voices will appear in the world? Li Yue cannot take such a risk, as long as he is three to five years ahead of the world's scientific and technological level, it is enough.

"I'll find a safe place to base myself when the time comes. You start designing some fully automated ancillary equipment now. I'll take it to different manufacturers and make it, and then I'll assemble it as a whole. Strive to complete our production line as soon as possible. ”

"Yes. ”

"But before we can do that, we need enough money to operate. "Li Yue had tried to make money before in order to buy these servers. Li Yue used to have a web game company, and even opened a private server before. Although Li Yue deliberately made the company small, it also earned more than 1 million per day. It's enough for all of Li Yue's expenses. But in this day and age, browser games don't work. The internet speed is too slow across the country, and 90 percent of the computers are not enough to see.

Legend shouldn't have signed a contract with Shanda yet, but Li Yue didn't have the heart to sign it. Instead, he took out the legendary world directly.

"Modify the game and optimize the configuration. In the future, all LOGOs will use Momo Technology. Li Yue said as he looked at the Legendary World folder on the hard drive of his laptop.

"Understood. The computer continued to reply in text.

Li Yue turned off the laptop, and before leaving, Li Yue lowered the temperature of the five air conditioners in the room by another 2 degrees. No way, so many servers generate too much heat.

"No one is allowed to enter the second floor without my permission. You have to patrol the company 24 hours a day, and you have to make sure that not a single fly can fly into the second floor. Li Yue looked at Qiu Jianjun and ordered.

"Yes. Qiu Jianjun and Li Jia responded at the same time.

"Your computers are worth a lot of money!" the fat man asked curiously after accompanying Li Yue out of the company.

"It's not valuable, but it's very important. Li Yue thought for a moment and said.

"It's the game tomorrow, my dad and they want to see you. You took 2 million here, and you haven't even shown your face in the past few days, and they are all a little uneasy. Although they still say that they believe in you very much, it can be seen that they are also a little scared. The fat man reminded Li Yue in a low voice.

"This is Uncle Chen's money, what are your fathers worried about?" asked Li Yue puzzled.

"You don't know yet, my dad heard that Uncle Chen actually gave you 2 million. They didn't say much, they just wanted to pay 500,000 each. At first, Uncle Chen disagreed, but my dad didn't want to take advantage of Uncle Chen, so they insisted. In the end, Uncle Chen had no choice but to accept their money. The fat man explained.

"Well, since you have taken the money, you should make them feel at ease. Come home with me for a moment. Then let's go back again. Li Yue pulled the fat man to take a taxi on the side of the road.

"You're such a big company now, shouldn't you have a car?" said the fat man with a little ill-will.

"I see, it's not for me to have a car, but for you, the fat young master, to have a car, isn't it Brother Hongxing. Li Yue joked, but what the fat man said was right, taking a taxi every day, it doesn't matter how much money you have, it's really inconvenient to have time. The important thing is that there is no need to draw numbers and traffic jams in this era. It's time to buy yourself a car.

The two of them waited for a long time, then took a taxi back to Li Yue's uncle's house, went upstairs to get something, and Li Yue followed the fat man back to Chen Tianren's bar.
